Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge

This week at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge, DRS Designs is the sponsor.  The sketch was a really neat one and I had alot of fun making my card.  I used a non-traditional color scheme for the card and I think it turned out really neat!

I got my color combo from the patterned paper from the Cosmo Cricket Collection - Jolly by Golly.  The colors in this patterned paper match Riding Hood Red and Aqua Mist perfectly.  My card is 5 1/4" square of Kraft cardstock.  For the bottom layer, I stamped the Medium Filigree Snowflake using Versamark onto Riding Hood Red cardstock.  I matted the patterned paper onto a piece of Aqua Mist cardstock.  For the sentiment, I stamped the Glittering/Twinkling Christmas Greeting using Riding Hood Red ink pad onto Shimmery White cardstock.  After stamping, I cut/embossed using the Labels 4 nestabilities.  I layered the sentiment panel onto a larger Labels 4 cut from Aqua Mist cardstock.  For my ribbon treatment, I used a cool stamp from DRS Designs.  Its called the ribbon slide!  This one is the Bow Ribbon Slide.  I stamped the ribbon slide onto Shimmery White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored it in using markers.  I carefully cut it out and using my craft knife I made two slits in the middle to allow my ribbon to slide on thru!  Easy!  I added some snowflakes with rhinestone to complete this card.

I just love these images from DRS Designs.  You can make such a unique card when using non-traditional colors, can't you?  What are you favorite color combos for your Christmas Cards?  I would love to know!
